Lovisa Nyman is an active Researcher at Lund University's Centre for Theology and Religious Studies within the Faculty of Humanities and Theology. Her work bridges systematic theology with practical applications in existential resilience, sustainability, and human rights. She maintains an office at Helgonavägen 3 in Lund (Room LUX:B328).
Nyman's research spans existential studies, ethics, and philosophy with a focus on how theological perspectives inform practical responses to contemporary challenges. Her work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between cognitive science, palliative care, and sustainability studies, particularly through her development of existential sustainability as a framework that expands traditional sustainability discourse. She explores how faith traditions, particularly Christian theology, can provide resources for resilience and transformation in crisis situations.
Her recent publications reveal a consistent trend toward interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in developing frameworks for existential resilience and sustainability. These works connect theological concepts with practical applications in healthcare, environmental challenges, and community building, demonstrating how existential dimensions strengthen traditional sustainability approaches.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Vetenskapssocietetens i Lund avhandlingspris (2021)
- Stiftelsen Oscar ll:s stipendium (2021)
Nyman leads and participates in significant research projects including 'Rooms for aging—existential perspectives for better living environments' and 'Existential Sustainability: Expanding the Discourse on Sustainability.' She serves as project coordinator for the latter and is an active researcher in multiple collaborative initiatives focused on existential dimensions of sustainability and resilience. Her work frequently involves cross-disciplinary collaboration with researchers in philosophy, psychology, and environmental studies.
She is central to the development of the 'Existential Sustainability' research network, which brings together scholars from diverse disciplines to explore how existential dimensions can strengthen sustainability frameworks. Her work with the Systematic Theology Centre connects theological inquiry with practical applications in healthcare, community development, and crisis response.
